Walter Davis – Strange Land Blues lyrics
Strange Land Blues Trk 12 3:14
Walter Davis
(Walter Davis)
Walter Davis - vocal and piano
Chicago Tuesday September 1931
Album: Walter Davis First Recording 1930-1932
JSP Records #605 RCA #67576-1
I often think of strange land
Place where I have never been befo'
I often think of strange land
Place where I have never been befo'
Because I'm having bad luck
Ev'rywhere I go
Out in California
That is where I long to be
Way out in California
That's where I long to be
Because my trouble and worry
Has really came down on me
Sometime I wanna be in L'ousiana
Down by the Gulf of Mexico
Sometime I wanna be in L'ousiana
Down by the gulf of Mexico
And then sometime
I don't know where in the world I wanna go
Ain't it bad, people
To have to give up the one you love?
Ain't it bad, people
To have to give up the one you love?
It make you feel like
Givin' yo' soul to the Lord, above
To look in my baby's face
Makes me feel so sad and blue
To look in my baby's face
Makes me feel so sad and blue
When she's gone to a strange land
People, it's sad she don't want you.
